Good product with excellent service

  • September 29, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ably's support has been great for us. We have a shared chat channel where all representatives from Ably are active, and they've always helped us promptly when questions and issues arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The SDK by default throws quite a few errors that are up to the user to handle in a correct way, which makes it more complicated than expected to get to a watertight setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Realtime data communication between clients. It's great to rely on an infrastructure maintained by experts, so we can focus on other things.

It just works, it's made building a real time platform look easy.

What do you like best about the product?
It's a simple solution to a complicated problem. Install a library on both sides of the connection, and you're done.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite an opaque implementation; occasionally, a detail leaks out and can be confusing, but it is easily solved with the great support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The monitoring, availability, and scalability of that part of the product problem are gone, I check the dashboard to see how it's doing and that's all I have to worry about.

Above and beyond customer support

  • August 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ably has been a great product to use in our application, but the customer support makes them stand out in my eyes. While integrating ably-cocoa into our iOS application, we found an issue that we weren't able to resolve on our own. We were able to quickly hop on a call with Ably engineers to help diagnose the issue and within 48 hours, it was identified and fixed. The Ably team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and FAST! Typically, it's hard to get support from third-party vendors, but the turnaround on this fix was lightning fast and rock-solid. Kudos to the team!
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't seen any issues that Ably hasn't been able to help us resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ably is providing us real-time connections with our customers in various aspects of our applications spanning mobile, web, and desktop. Ably powers our applications that allow us to quickly and effectively communicate with our customers around the world.

Ideal service vendor, in every metric

  • June 29, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ably just has it all figured out. Their technology is competitive with the industry, and their suite of features all work reliably.
Dashboards, customer support, customer success, it's all there.
Developer friendliness ended up being the big deciding factor for us, our developers found the integrations incredibly easy, with solid documentation.
Realtime events is a bit of a crowded space, with a lot of vendors offering similar features. Ably has been able to successfully find the details to differentiate themselves
What do you dislike about the product?
why is this field required, no comment here
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
as their name suggests, Ably Realtime offers managed realtime events

Ably is a great product being versatile and scalable. It delivers our messages in real-time for a wide range of applications and implementations. Also, super friendly people who are there for us! :)
